A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 615: Stay (To make up for last month's monthly ticket)

"It's less than 50 copies. We need to add some seeds from new farms outside."

After picking for a long time, Pierre picked out a total of 31 potato seeds. After that, he couldn't find the 32nd one no matter how hard he looked. Pierre had to give up and spoke to Leon.

"Or if you're not in a hurry, you can wait for me to contact the supplier and get me some seeds from this old farm."

"Just use the seeds from the new farm. Don't waste your interpersonal relationships for just a dozen or so seeds." Lyon didn't care about it. After all, Lyon had handled the seeds picked by Pierre before.

The system identified it as an ordinary potato seed without any high-quality prefix, so Lyon didn't care much about it.

"Yeah, that's okay."

Pierre also felt that the difference was not that big, so he didn't worry about it anymore. He found a bag to put the potato seeds on the ground and handed it to Lyon.

I left the warehouse with Lyon, added 19 more seeds to the shelves, and finally handed them all to Lyon.

Lyon didn't hesitate and took out the gift card again after taking the seed. Pierre swiped 2500G and returned the card to Lyon.

"I'll be leaving now. Say hello to Caroline for me."

While no one was paying attention, Leon stuffed all the seeds into the system backpack, then took the gift card and said to Pierre.

"Yes, if you don't want to cook occasionally, you can come here to eat. Caroline said that there will always be a set of tableware prepared for you here." Pierre nodded and added.

"I will."

After saying goodbye to Pierre, Leon rode his bicycle empty-handed and rushed to Lewis's house. However, outside Lewis's house, Leon did not see Lewis, and no one responded when he knocked on the door.

Thinking about seeing Marnie in the grocery store before, it proved that Lewis should not be on Marnie's farm, so Leon decided to call him.

After all, this is the technological age. Although the world has mysterious forces, the lives of ordinary people are still influenced by technology. No one thinks Leon will start to speculate on Lewis's whereabouts and search for him in every place, right? No way?

"Hey?"

As soon as the mobile phone dialed Lewis’ number, Lewis answered the call.

"Lewis, where are you? I'm here to pay taxes." Lyon said straight to the point.

"I'm sorting documents in the vault of the old community center. You can come directly over." Lewis hung up the phone after saying that.

After getting the location, Leon immediately turned the bike around and rode towards the old community center. Soon, he arrived at the door of the old community center.

The lock on the door had been opened, so Leon was not refused entry for not bringing the key to the old community center. He pushed the door open and entered, only to see the same old, dilapidated hall.

Leon didn't pay much attention to this, and walked around to the vault door on the right. Looking at the vault, which was completely different from the outside in terms of cleanliness and neatness, he felt a sense of disconnection.

At the only desk in the vault, Lewis was writing something on the desk wearing reading glasses. After hearing Leon's footsteps, he immediately raised his head and joked to Leon.

"No one would have thought that behind that dilapidated hall outside, there was such an excellent vault. It's much safer to keep Pelican Town's important documents and financial statements here than in my home. Hahahaha, Leon, did you know that I have a special need for this, so you repaired the vault in advance?"

"It's just that the conditions for repairing the vault are the simplest," Leon replied casually. "Is there a POS machine here? I'm here to pay my income tax, Lewis. Remember to give me a receipt and invoice or something."

"I was preparing for this as soon as I received your call. You came a little too fast, and I still need a little time." Lewis explained, pointing to the half-written paper on the table.

“Then I’ll wait for you.” Upon hearing this, Leon sat down on the sofa beside him, waiting for Lewis to finish his work.

Lewis was not vague and continued to write diligently. His efficiency was completely different from that of an old man with half a head of white hair.

"Okay, here's the certificate, stamped with the official seal of Pelican Town. Here's the check. Once you sign it, I won't need a POS machine. I can use this to withdraw money directly. This is your tax certificate. Because we were pressed for time, I didn't prepare a cover.

You won't need it right now, so just find a place to put it when you get home. But don't lose it, because it might become your qualification for state representative selection. If you plan to go into politics in the future, it's a great place to start and a stepping stone."

Lewis pushed two filled papers and a check in front of Leon, and handed him the pen in his hand.

"Let me take a look first." Lyon did not rush to sign, but began to read the supporting documents and tax certificate.

He was just an ordinary person before, and his taxes were paid by the company on his behalf. He had never paid taxes himself, let alone become a major taxpayer and be officially recognized and issued a certificate. So Lyon didn't disbelieve Lewis, but wanted to see something new.

But after reading it all, I found that it was all written language and had no nutritional value, so I lost interest in reading further and signed my name on the check with the tax amount already filled in.

"Thank you for your contribution to Pelican Town, Leon. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely leave this position to you."

Lewis's beard was shaking with laughter after receiving the tax. With this money, plus the fines the Joja family had previously paid for illegal mining and the promised compensation for road construction, he could finally build the road from Pelican Town to the bus station.

"By the way, I'm planning to repair the dirt road from Red Star Farm to Pelican Town. Do you have any objections? If not, I'll build the road directly outside your farm. That way, you don't have to wade through the mud to get to town on rainy days."

"No, it would be a real headache if the tourists misunderstood and went to the wrong place. They could just go straight through Pelican Town. Besides, that extra distance isn't cheap."

Lyon declined the proposal. It seemed that it would indeed make traveling on rainy days more convenient for him, but the cost was too high and it would easily cause trouble. Lyon would naturally not agree to something that would do more harm than good.

"Okay." Lewis also felt that what Lyon said made sense, so he did not continue the topic, but turned to talk to Lyon about the next thing.

"Summer is coming soon. You've been in Stardew Valley for quite some time, but you probably don't know much about some of the special circumstances in Stardew Valley. The four seasons in Stardew Valley are very distinct and fixed. Once April arrives, summer will immediately arrive. At this time, the spring crops on your farm will wither, so it's best not to continue planting spring crops."

"I already know about this matter, and before you, no less than three people have told me about this situation." Leon replied with a smile. Although he had heard it several times, he did not feel impatient. After all, these people warned him for his own good. How could Leon blame them?

"It seems like you're quite popular in Stardew Valley. Not bad, not bad. It seems like this quarter you've not only built up Red Star Farm, but you've also been socializing in town. That's great."

Lewis smiled with relief when he heard this, then stood up and gave Leon a hug.

"I hope you keep it up. I like you very much, Leon, and I think everyone in Stardew Valley does too. If possible, stay here and make Stardew Valley your home."

"I will."

"Hahaha, okay, okay!"
